Principle

The consistency check can be applied to various components: 

  • on the sum of ECTS

The consistency check on carrier steps is available from version 4.5 onwards.

  • On milestones. 

Sum of ECTS

The ECTS sum check consists of checking whether the ECTS entered at the highest level (year, semester, UE) correspond to the sum of the ECTS entered at the lowest level.

ECTS are non-mandatory fields that can be entered in the header of containers and ELPs.

For the consistency report to work, you must enter the highest and lowest ECTS levels.

Note that the report returns errors when :

  • the sum of ECTS in the lower-level ELPs does not correspond to what is entered in the UE

  • the sum of ECTS in the UEs does not correspond to what is entered for the semester

  • the sum of ECTS in the semesters does not correspond to what is entered in the year

ECTS credits are carried by the lowest level ELPs.
For choice listsELP credits must be added only 1 time
For optional listsELP it will be displayed (at the margin) = 0

Supporting stages

This report is available in version 4.5 and higher.

This report checks that the ELPs refer to a single carrier step,
, and that this is consistent with its ascending tree structure. 

Extraction

Access to this extraction is subject to the "Generate consistency check report" right. 

From the Steering tab

Results

ECTS totals

Result of an error-free consistency report check:

Result of a consistency check report with errors : 

In this example, the report displays the following errors:

  • UE2 History of the United States is not an error, as the sum of the ECTS children is equal to 0.
    This means that the list ofELP is optional.
  • Semester 1 and L1 history generate errors because the ETCS do not correspond to the sum of the ECTS for children.

Supporting stages

This report is available in version 4.5 and higher.
